My name is Sarah, and this is my blog. I'm a graduate student in physics that knits. Or a knitter that physics, however you want to have it.
This site has no real information on string theory.
But come on. Physics? Knitting? I've heard enough string theory jokes to know I need to address this issue head on. You can email me at theoriesofstring AT gmail DOT com. You can also find me on Ravelry as theoriesofstring.

Really cute things to be thankful for

Okay, knitting soon, I promise. I just took a bunch of pictures, and I have some exciting news coming up.But I'm not going to show you any of that.Instead, Kittens! And puppies!Remember how Lorna helped with the rescue of that hording situation? Well, she fostered an adorable little Corgi named Marigold. Sadly, my parents had a Corgi who died a few weeks ago, and I knew little Marigold would be perfect for them. So we decided I would bring her home for their Christmas gift, and wrapped her all up.She's not really thrilled about it, but it's still cute.

Seriously cute.She's already got my parents well trained, and she gets along just fine with with their three cats, and their other dog, Bullwinkle. See?And since Heather asked, Duncan was also being incredibly cute this weekend. Here's a sampling, but there's more on my flickr site (ID: theoriesofstring).Here he is playing with my Webkinz kitty, who is just about his size.He's very vicious when he attacks. I'm so glad he attacks the substitute kitten now instead of my hand.The other cats were fascinated, and for a while stood around like creepy statues watching him. That's George (no tail) and Fred (white spot) hanging out in my room watching the kitten. George and Duncan became really good friends after a few days, and they've been playing together a lot.The little one liked to sleep on a leopard print pillow in my room, but this is as close as I could get to a picture. He looks really cute on it though, and really blends in.But it wasn't all play. He put in some work on the laptop.And he did some organizing in the home office.

He says, "Hey, we're putting covers on those TPS reports now."Worfy, on the other hand, found the heating vent immediately and stretched out his entire belly to it. Sadly, I did not get a picture of that, but here he is being cute in some knitting. More about the knitting later.All in all, it was a very exciting Thanksgiving weekend.
